[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5999641, member: 58416"] I've acted like nothing. I only said the differences were just as important (if not more-so) than the similarities. Personally, I will admit that I do feel MMOs have been an overall negative influence on some of the more popular modern games. Plenty of people enjoy what they feel are innovations and good things to borrow. For me, while I do feel there are things that have enhanced tabletop gaming; things that were borrowed from other mediums, I feel as though there are some defining features of tabletop games which originally attracted me to play tabletop games. Some of those features are -imo- being eroded away, and I do not feel that is a good thing. edit: I don't mind mixing things. You brought up musical tastes. I think some groups have done an excellent job of bringing different styles of music together. Beyond music, there are other mixes I enjoy as well. While it's not a mix per se, I think hot wings can be used to describe my feelings on the subject. I highly enjoy hot and spicy food. I'm a huge fan of Cajun food. However, one thing which bothers me -especially that I again reside in the North (Pennsylvania in case you're wondering)- is that many places make things hot just for the sake of being hot. You cannot taste the underlying dish anymore. I do not feel that is good. I want spice, but I still want to be able to taste what I'm eating underneath it too. The spice should add to the flavor; not overpower it. [/QUOTE]
